"But I didn't forget that while I hate them, I still have a son," Lu Zhengmei said. She took a sip of tea as though she was calming herself down. "I have my own bottom line. I won't kill people just because they let me down. Besides, if I really wanted to kill, I wouldn't just kill Cao Keya. To me, Wang Jianlei is more hateful than Cao Keya. He's the one who can cause us the most harm. He knew how much harm it would cause us if we knew about it. But he still did it. That's why he didn't have the guts to confess to me even after the matter was exposed.
"If I weren't him, I would think about what would happen to my son if I were impulsive. I know I can't be so perfect that no one can catch me. If I'm caught, what will happen to my son? Not just his life, but also the rumors of the people around him. His father has a mistress outside, and the mistress was murdered. His mother is the murderer. This is ruining my son's future.
"Wang Jianlei can ignore his son, but I can't. You might not understand how much a mother can endure for her son. Of course, I won't give a false statement to frame Wang Jianlei. I hate him, but I'm not despicable, "Lu Zhengmei said.
After everyone left, Zhang Shanfei called Yang Shaoqun and explained the situation. He then went to Class One Hall to investigate. Lu Zhengmei's alibi was established.
Everyone was anxious. Jiang Yuecheng called Zhang Ming.
"Shaozhan has already investigated all the licensed psychologists in B City, but there are too many. I didn't expect there to be so many psychologists now. There are so many mental illnesses nowadays. In any case, we're investigating them one by one. "
Qi Youxuan was comparing Xiong Shishi and Cao Keya's information to see if there were any similarities other than the fact that they were both mistresses.
"Hmm? Xiong Shishi and Cao Keya live very close to each other. "Qi Youxuan flipped through their information and his gaze landed on their addresses. "They're both on Ningxia Second Road. Xiong Shishi's neighborhood is at No. 25 Ningxia Second Road, and Cao Keya's is at No. 26. The two neighborhoods are adjacent."
"The Ningxia Second Road that the two of them are at belongs to the old city." Yang Shaoqun explained, thinking that Qi Youxuan and the rest didn't know much about the local situation, "The district that Cao Keya lives in is a commercial district that was built after the old houses were demolished, and the district that Xiong Shishi lives in is an old house that has been around for nearly 20 years. That area happened to be the intersection of the new and old residential areas. But because of the population problem, the purchasing power there was not enough, and there were no high-end supermarkets or shopping malls. Therefore, people with good financial conditions would not buy a house there. Some bought it for investment. Cao Keya's apartment is rented by Wang Jianlei. He doesn't seem to care much about the location. "
"The two victims lived so close to each other. Is it possible that the murderer also lives or works nearby?" Wei Muran looked at Qi Youxuan.
Qi Youxuan nodded. "I'll say it. You write it down."
Hearing that, Wei Muran immediately ran to the whiteboard, picked up a pen, and got ready.
Qi Youxuan sat on the swivel chair and turned towards Wei Muran. He placed his right elbow on the armrest and slowly rubbed his thumb and index finger together.
"The murderer is a male, around 30 years old, married. His wife betrayed him and had an affair with another married man. Later on, she divorced him. His job was average and his salary was not high. This was the reason why his wife betrayed him. His wife had been dating him for many years. They might have been together since university. "
Qi Youxuan paused and narrowed his eyes. "The murderer was originally working in B City. Later on, because of his wife's betrayal, he left B City and came here."
"You even know this?" Zou Chengwei said in surprise.
Qi Youxuan glanced at Zou Chengwei and deeply felt that he could become good friends with Xing Jiadong.
"You should have roughly read the book 'Murder Heart'. The three murderers all saw a psychiatrist before committing the crime. The first two murderers were locals of B City and had no records of living outside for a long time. The second murderer, Li Niancheng, did not have good financial conditions. The only record of him leaving B City was to go to Lijiang, and it was to kill people. Other than that, he had been living in B City. The first murderer, Dong Zhengfeng, was originally a teacher. His financial conditions could not be said to be good, but it was very stable. Before Li Anqi died, he also went on vacation, but it was only for short periods of three to four days. After Li Anqi died, he never left again. Mental illness cannot be cured by seeing a psychiatrist once or twice. He has to see a psychiatrist regularly. Therefore, I believe that the murderer also lived in B City before. He might have come to T City because of the psychiatrist's instigation. "
Qi Youxuan did not care about Zou Chengwei's expression of "I see" and continued, "The murderer looks gentle but his facial features are ordinary. He is not the outstanding kind. People would not remember him even if they saw him. The place where he works or lives might be in one of the residential areas. If not, it would be nearby. It would not take more than 15 minutes to walk. "
"Why would it not take more than 15 minutes to walk?" This time, Yang Shaoqun also did not understand.
Qi Youxuan said patiently, "First of all, the murderer must have a good understanding of the situation in the two residential areas and know about Xiong Shishi and Cao Keya. Although the wives of the two men on the other side do not know about their existence, Shi Chenzhong and Wang Jianlei often go to the residential area where Xiong Shishi and Cao Keya live. There is a big age difference between them. Busybodies will definitely talk about it behind their backs. If they pay more attention, they will be able to guess their relationship. "
"If the place where he works or lives is far away, how would he notice these gossips? The gossips must be generated nearby. Moreover, the murderer often appears nearby, so he is very clear about these things. He also gets along well with the aunties in the residential area. There should be many aunties in their forties and fifties who know him. He either works or lives in the residential area, or he is nearby. He often strolls around the residential area. If he works outside the residential area, he is most likely to be a real estate agent. He can often go in and out of the residential area to look for houses and bring customers to look at houses. It is also easy for him to know about the matters in the residential area. "
"That area is purely a residential area. There are no serious companies in the surrounding area. There are only a lot of storefronts by the roadside. Most of them are restaurants, and there are also a few clothing stores. There are a few chain real estate agencies there. In addition, there is a children's early education center and a foreign language class in the storefront of Cao Keya's residential area. There are a few travel agency branches downstairs from Xiong Shishi's house. " The more Zou Chengwei said, the more he frowned. "Xiong Shishi's residential area is still okay. There are not many companies there. At most, there is a dry cleaner or something. But in Cao Keya's residential area, there are a few real estate agencies, a few Korean supermarkets, restaurants, and some companies that rent houses as offices, law firms, and even beauty salons. There are really too many of them. "
"This way, the scope can be considered narrowed down," Yang Shaoqun said. "It's better than searching the entire city. We can't even find a single clue. At least we have a scope. No matter how many companies there are, there will be a time when we can finish searching. The restaurants will close later. Tonight, we will start from the restaurants. "
Qi Youxuan and the others were only here to follow up on the case. They were not familiar with T City, so they did not intervene. When it was time to get off work, they left first.
"Hey, it's rare that we have nothing to do next. Let's go eat first? Let's see if there are any famous restaurants in T City. "Zhao Yiyang stretched." Let's relax tonight. Tomorrow is another tough battle. "
How could Qi Youxuan bring these two third wheels? Even if they came to T City, it would be a one-on-one date with Wei Muran, okay?
And it was rare that his father-in-law was not monitoring him. He did not have to send Wei Muran home before 9 o 'clock. He was not here to solve the case, but to take a breather!
Just as Qi Youxuan was about to refuse, he heard someone call, "Muran!"
Just as he turned his head to look, Xiao Yiqing had already run over like a gust of wind and gave Wei Muran a bear hug. Xiang Haorui followed behind her, walking over unhurriedly.
"I didn't expect to see you again so soon. I was so happy when I received your WeChat message last night!" Xiao Yiqing said happily. Her face was flushed with excitement. "By the way, where are you staying?"
"We are on a business trip, so we will reimburse our travel expenses and stay at home," Wei Muran said.
Xiao Yiqing did not mean to look down on the hotel chain. When she was young, she had suffered hardships with Ning Wan in B City, although she was still young at that time and did not have a deep impression of it.
"Since you are already here, why are you still staying in a hotel? Don't treat me like an outsider. Just stay in our house. We have so many empty rooms, and we can chat more there." Xiao Yiqing began to imagine while hugging Wei Muran. "When the time comes, we will both be wearing pajamas, lying under the same quilt and chatting. How great would that be!"
Qi Youxuan did not like anyone who tried to abduct Wei Muran, regardless of whether it was a man or a woman. It was even more intolerable for someone to abduct Wei Muran in front of him.
"It's fine for us to stay in a hotel. We came with our colleagues, so it's not good to be treated differently." Qi Youxuan said and even dragged Jiang Yuecheng and Zhao Yiyang over. "Look, Muran's leader is also here."
Jiang Yuecheng glanced at Qi Youxuan indifferently, smiled slightly, and said, "It's not that strict. Since we have friends, it doesn't matter if we stay at a friend's house, as long as we don't delay our actions."
